My name is Vicki I am 27, I live in Cheltenham UK. I live with my partner and our 14 month old son, Milo.

I used to work in retail management for many years but left when I had Milo, I was due to go back to work in February but have managed to make my crafty business successful enough not to need to, which is really lovely, although I do tend to feel as though I never stop working these days!

I studied English Literature and Creative Writing at university, but am afraid to say I no longer write anything-although I used to love writing and my dream was to be a writer one day I sort of fell out of love with it somewhere along the way. Now am I very happy to have my own business working from home and making things which I love!

My Nanny taught me to knit, crochet, sew and generally be as creative as possible when I was a young girl. I recently inherited her sewing box which I love so so much. Having said that I'm not a particularly strong sewer! I enjoy it but me and my sewing machine are not the closest of friends!I do however love knitting and crochet. Since having Milo I have found a whole new love for knitting, making baby sized sweaters is a lot less time consuming than grown up sized ones!

For my business I mostly make items from polymer clay, mainly buttons and little ninjas.

Basically I like to try my hand at all crafts whether I am successful at them or not!

I have also recently developed a huge love for gardening. I only have tiny roof terrace but my pots have literally taken over up there. I am growing too many vegetables, herbs and fruits to list really, but my main growing pride belongs with my tomatoes at the moment! They are still green but looking fantastic.
